Call for Presenters: Indigenous Monitors & Practitioners (Expression of Interest)

6 February 2026/IAMC-TMX/,

The Indigenous Advisory and Monitoring Committee for the Trans Mountain Expansion and Existing Pipeline (IAMC-TMX) is inviting Expressions of Interest from speakers and presenters to participate in an upcoming virtual Indigenous Monitoring Community of Practice event, planned for March 24th 2026. 

This virtual gathering will bring together Indigenous monitors, practitioners, technical specialists, and community representatives to share knowledge, tools, and experiences related to Indigenous monitoring programs across regions. 

Purpose of the Event 

The Community of Practice event is intended to: 

  • Share practical tools, approaches, and lessons learned from Indigenous monitoring programs 
  • Highlight community-led monitoring practices and innovations 
  • Support peer-to-peer learning across regions 
  • Create space for dialogue about the future of Indigenous monitoring 

The focus of this event is knowledge sharing and practical experience, rather than formal presentations or policy discussions. 

Who We Are Inviting 

We welcome Expressions of Interest from: 

  • Indigenous monitoring and guardians programs 
  • Community-based monitoring initiatives 
  • Indigenous technical staff and practitioners 
  • Program managers and coordinators 
  • Youth or emerging leaders involved in monitoring work 
  • Past community grant recipients willing to share their experiences 

Both Indigenous and non-Indigenous practitioners working directly with Indigenous monitoring programs are encouraged to express interest. 

Presentation Format 

Presentations will be delivered virtually and may include: 

  • Short presentations (approximately 10–20 minutes) 
  • Case studies or program overviews 
  • Demonstrations of tools, methods, or approaches 
  • Reflections on challenges, successes, and lessons learned 

Presenters are encouraged to keep presentations practical, accessible, and experience-based. A facilitated agenda will help ensure clear timing and smooth transitions. 

Honoraria 

Honoraria will be provided to Elders, cultural participants, and presenters in accordance with IAMC-TMX protocol 

How to Express Interest 

If you are interested in presenting, please complete the Expression of Interest form by February 24th  including: 

  • Your name and organization/community 
  • A brief description of your monitoring program or experience 
  • The topic you would like to present on 
  • Your preferred presentation format (e.g., PowerPoint, prerecorded, etc.) 
  • Any technical or accessibility considerations 

Email chudson@iamc.ca if you are interested! 

Next Steps 

Submitted Expressions of Interest will be reviewed to support a balanced agenda that reflects diverse regions, experiences, and approaches to Indigenous monitoring. Selected speakers will be contacted with further details. 

We appreciate your interest and look forward to learning from the important work happening in communities.

Today, we pause to honour and remember. December 6 marks the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, commemorating the 14 women murdered at Montréal’s École Polytechnique in 1989. This day reminds us of the urgent need to end gender-based violence in all its forms. For the IAMC-TMX Socioeconomic Subcommittee (SESC), this commitment is deeply connected to our work. We advocate for the safety, security, and economic well-being of Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people in the context of resource development. Our efforts include: • Advancing Action Plan Measure 12 (APM 12) under the UNDRIP Act to protect Indigenous women and gender-diverse people in infrastructure projects. • Promoting wise practices for community safety and oversight. • Integrating a gendered lens (IGBA+) into emergency management and regulatory frameworks. • Supporting Indigenous-led monitoring and decision-making to address socioeconomic impacts. Violence against women is both a personal tragedy and a systemic issue that intersects with resource development, economic security, and community wellness. Today, and every day, we reaffirm our commitment to protecting and promoting the rights of Indigenous women and gender-diverse people.
